Subject:EXTERNAL - Hybrid Meetings

I'm writing in support of our open government commission, be allowed to provide their
presentation on hybrid meetings.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, our tax dollars, were spent on upgrading our system to align
with todays technological advancement. Why aren't we maximizing its use. I see our staff,
whom we should value, sit at city council meetings to provide a short presentation when they
could participate from their home. Presenters that have to travel, sometimes long distance to
make an appearance, when hybrid participation could be available.
Of note, some of you participated in the LAFCO, County of Santa Clara, presentation via this
very same technology that you won't allow be presented, this is quite ironic.
